Three Week Pictures

Here are some pictures I just took. I have had my microbraids three full weeks now. I have washed it twice in that time. Very little slippage. I have used my Nappy Tool to fix a couple in the back, and tighten a couple in the front.

A Gentleman's Locs

Check out these pics. My cousin Freddie buzzed through town on his way to NYC and I couldn't resist taking a couple of snapshots of his dreads. I am so glad I had my camera in my bag. Absolutely gorgeous, don't you agree? He was upset with me when he first saw me--sans my locs, but got excited when I told him they are on their way back!

Two week pictures--October 2008

Here they are! I took some pictures last week and finally got a chance to download them. Sorry the quality isn't better. I will try to get my husband to take some close-ups with his new camera soon.

Got Me a Nappyloc(TM) Tool!

Hey all!

I am excited because I got my NappyLocs Tool in the mail the other day. I used it to retighten a couple of my braids in the back--yes, already some have grown out; some others in the back have just come completely loose (just 2 or 3), probably because I haven't been tying my head up like I should. I ordered the smallest size tool. It is pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it. My only challenge is that my hair is so curly on the ends that it was hard to feed the end of my braids into the opening. Once it was in there, though, it stayed in and I was able to do a couple rotations (just using the simple 9-6-3-12 pattern that came with the tool) pretty quickly.

Shout out to my cousin Leecy--she is in the contemplation phase. I have encouraged her to go to the Locked Hair Blog Exchange to get more info and inspiration. If you are reading this and you haven't been there yet, follow the link on the left or click on the text in this post!
